I know its a dumb question, but my friend has a 1996 ford contur 4 door sedan. he has a zetec motor (im assuming its a 2.0) and an automatic trans. He denys i can beat him, especially when he rode in the colt for the first time(not running well at all, low on tranny fluid)

Now I have a 1987 colt turbo premier(sedan 4 door)automatic with the a/c belt out and the intake silencer out and some weight removed, a/c core and rear luggage rack. also just a downpipe then a hollowed out cat.

do you guys think i can beat him??

also what about an early 90s manual explorer v-6?

He's gonna run in the 17s on a quarter mile run with the zetec motor. At best he will run 16.50s. Who do you think will win?

I think both of them will beat you but that contour might lose

This post is kinda useless don't you think? A 4 dour auto angainst a contour.
Ask about a swapped out motor with a turbo beating a nsx or something but not about 2 lawnmowers racing. If it takes more than 16 sec to do the 1/4 it is not racing it is trying to keep up with traffic. :D

c'mon i want the colt name to be respected at both ends of the spectrum. I am in the process of moving up through the ranks. I paid 350 for the car, and another 480 for the transmission. 830 isn't bad for a running turbo. I think ill beat him.

I'll give you that, you may beat the Contour. Just make sure you get him off the line and get everything running tip top. Maybe lighten the car up a bit by removing some unwanted crap...like the interior. Any kind of weight reductions will make every power upgrade that much more effective.
